President Bola Ahmed Tinubu met with the leadership of the NLC, along with the chairman of Progressive Governors Forum, Hope Uzodimma, Governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo and Governor of Kebbi State, Dr Nasir Idris and the Minister of State Labour, Honorable Nkeiruka Onyejeocha. The chairman of the NLC,Comrade Joe Ajaero led the Labour leaders to the meeting on Tuesday night at the State House, Abuja.

The closed-door session comes just a day before the NLC’s scheduled mass action on December 17.

No official details on the outcome of the talks have been released yet, but sources indicate the discussions focused on averting the planned demonstration and finding common ground on national challenges.

This development follows the NLC’s firm stance earlier in the week that there would be “no going back” on the protest, underscoring the urgency of addressing citizens’ grievances.
